Default trans or diff problem?

hey, so i go for a drive and when the car goes from 1st to 2nd its slams the gear in..? its like a clunk that u can feel but not really hear. and sometime it looses traction cus the wheels spin. its an auto.. this happens in drive or when i use gears. but only between 1st and 2nd.

i kinda tought my car to rev out at 5000plus so every gear change is smooth when i rev it that high before i change gear. but when i dont flog it the gears or diff clunks.. lol so hard to explain, any1 from brissy wanna come for a drive and ill show you lol.

If its only 1st and 2nd, its your S5 solenoid, get it replaced/cleaned and fixed and get your tranny serviced. Then get your S5 solenoid wound up a full turn so its like it all the time

fail.

They talk about not doing full flushes these days because it mucks up something yada yada i don't remember.
$110 for filter and oil from pan changed is the usual. Budget for $300 for oil, filter, solenoid if needed and labour and your box will live to see another day.
